Hello,
I am from the northeast (originally NH but now NJ), went to school in Ohio majoring in both equine studies and fine art. I am currently working in mostly colored pencil and watercolor as they are space friendly, though I have experience with a number of mediums (oil, printmaking, acrylic etc.).
I now have a boring full time job and do artwork on the side. I specialize in horses though I have been known to portray other subjects one of which is fantacy. I first saw the Windstone dragons in 1998 when I received the peacock scratching dragon for my birthday and have admired Ms. Pena’s sculptures and her use of form.
a few of my pieces my be viewed on my website
http://sitekreator.com/equineartist21/Welcome! Nice to have another horsey person on the forum.
I like the stippling effect of your artwork. Do you work in pastels? And any chance we could see some of your fantasy work?The chaulky feel of pastels on paper gives me the goose bumps so I do not work with them. I mostly stick to colored pencil as they are easy to travel with.. I have not done much more than quick drawings and sketches with fantacy themed pieces as of late, those darn commissions get in the way.. you can see one painting i did of the dog I created and painted him for an attorney friend of mine in acrylic here

My art: featherdust.comWelcome to the forum! You artwork is very nice. Are you painting PYOs yet? The horse folks do very well with them.
PYO Windstones
I don’t think I would like the results with anything other than an airbrush, and I don’t own one or know how to use one.. besides I’d be afraid I’d mess it up.
